Yes Really .. & should it not be ?[;)]

you can probably give a comparison in your usual point by point style [:)] of Bolero Vs Duster on why it should OR should not not be the alternate plan/option!
in Europe the duster is actually a bolero

Renault Duster 4x4 Spotted in India

Renault India's plans of luanching a 4x4 version of its flagship compact SUV Duster in India, and now the car has been spotted testing in Kerala . And what makes us believe that the spotted vehicle is four-wheel drive (4WD) version is the sticker on the back denoting the same. The 4WD option is already sold in international markets, but not in India because of the high price tag it will have.

Now when Ford is all set to launch its compact SUV Ford EcoSport, which is competing neck and neck with the Duster in several markets, it has become very necessary for Renault to bring some more variants to keep doing well. The company is developing 4wd Duster at its Chennai based plant, which is being exported to the UK market, so it's not going to be a tough task for the company to launch the similar vehicle in India. Although, it's early to claim the success of 4WD version, if it's priced well, we are sure it would attract off-roading lovers as well who are paying more to get a 4wd SUV. The 4x4 version of the car is likely to retain the same 1.5-litre diesel engine that churns out the maximum power output of 108bhp and 148Nm of torque.

Renault Duster is the one vehicle that not only brought profits and good days for the French automaker in India, it also brought the culture of compact SUVs in the country, however some automakers tried that in the past, but failed. Launched back in July 2012, the Duster today is amongst the top-selling SUVs in the country, which attracted other automakers too to try their luck in the newly formed segment. Mahindra brought its first compact SUV, the Quanto in October, which too has been able to get the initial success. Next to join the league is the much awaited Ford EcoSport, which is considered to be the closest rival of the Duster, and we all are excited to see the battle taking place between these two super impressive, new era vehicles.

^^ If something sells month on month there has to be something good in it and it caters to the market need - its a simple truth really!
well Going by that theory.. Bolero is the best selling SUV in India for past several years so what does that say ?

in Europe the duster is actually a bolero
Thanks, helps me to confirm that I am comparing the right cars!

This implies that ' market needs ' means number of the people who are ready to compromise on their requirements is high in India is as compared to to Europe. And there is nothing wrong in it if you have compromising attitude when it comes to spending and saving money.

Now , one more example is that number of people opting to take treatment in hospitals such as Sassoon Pune, JJ, KEM Mumbai, PGI Chandigarh, AIIMS Dehli etc. is high as compared to Ruby Hall Clinic ,Appollo, Breech candy, Hinduja etc. No dobt, the former group is good but not the best.And no dobt, life and limbs are million $ things.

I beg to differ.
ignorance also plays a role much unfortunate for us all.

Take example of our law systems and government.

It may take some time to come out of this collective "........."

Re: Renault may launch Duster at Auto Expo

16kmpl is the true figure for Duster, but doubtful for India.
Duster is not SUV, it's a X-over.
Exactly ...as Its small looks doesn't feel like SUV. Mahindra XUV 500 is rally a SUV and It looks like SUV Car.

I can't believe so many negative comments. A lot of people are extremely happy with the Duster and also the pricing.
i agree with you.. This negativity looks a bit prejudiced and targetted.
Duster appears to be having great success in India as well as in other countries..
Crowned as the COTY in many surveys and forums..
